For this condition, a company cannot exclude benefits for that condition for more than three months after the coverage effective date. If you replace your policy and your previous policy was in effect for at least three months, you have no waiting period for any pre-existing conditions. 2 = These companies have discounts for spouse, electronic funds transfer and/or yearly pay. You may call the phone numbers listed to find out exactly what your discounts may be. 3 = No health screen means the insurance company will not ask you any health questions to decide if they will enroll you in its plan. 4 = You must be a member of an association to buy these plans. * Medicare Select policies may require you to use specific hospitals, doctors, or other health care providers to get full coverage. Network restrictions must be disclosed to you.
